A short post today, we just motored into Guildford for some shopping, and to look at 2 specialty shops.

Guildford Mooring, with Blue Angel, a WIDEBEAM, going past.

First up was the Guildford branch of the London Camera Exchange. They have a good range of second hand products, so I added a couple of micro four thirds lenses for the Olympus Pen F, and a Billingham Camera Bag and vintage lens for the Leica 111f / M8.2

Leica M10R and 1936 Leica Xenon 5cm f1.5 lens

Then onto my favourite watch shop here….I’d been admiring this piece during Covid but resisted the temptation. In person it was harder….a 1943 Laco Luftwaffe Observer’s watch. At 55mm it’s huge, but it will go nicely over my flying jacket whilst driving the Morgan 3 Wheeler.

We are expecting heavy rain tomorrow, so shall probably remain here. It’s going to improve over the W/E, when we will get to Godalming, and the end of the navigable Wey.
